With less than a month until Cybertron falls on the 360 and PS3, developer High Moon Studios and publisher Activision have provided a quick glimpse of the new game's multiplayer mode.

And if that video's not enough, we've got screenshots after the jump.

It's weird to think we're in a period where it's okay to be excited about a licensed game like Fall of Cybertron; how long ago was it that the threat of a title featuring a toy, comic, or movie would be guaranteed to bum you out on some level with shoddy gameplay, slapdash visuals, and the usual laundry list of shortcuts for tie-ins.

Which is my way of saying I'm pretty stoked about what High Moon has been showing off with Fall of Cybertron. The trailer details the character customization options as well as touting the game's 10 multiplayer levels. I'm just gonna assume right now we'll be getting more levels and customization bits and skins as DLC in the future.

You can check out some screens from Fall of Cybertron below:
